Father David Brinkmoeller Retired Priest: “I’m Just Being Present”

Fr. David Brinkmoeller, a retired priest residing at the Transfiguration Spiritual Center in West Milton, Ohio, recently spoke with a reporter from the Catholic Telegraph. In the conversation, Fr. David reflected on his forty-five years as a priest and post-retirement volunteer opportunities, particularly with the Living Water Community in Trinidad.

Living Water’s ministry is deeply rooted in the Corporal Works of Mercy and Fr. Brinkmoeller traveled there to assist the community “with many ministries, any way I can.” He added: “This new chapter in my life is a chance to meet people who are much poorer than I’ve known. I want to learn what poor people experience about life and love.”
